Odd camera bug

Hey guys, I have a problem with the camera and I'm wondering if anybody else has this issue. When I take a picture sometimes the camera blacks out a large portion of the image with a horizontal line. It covers up more or less of the picture seemingly randomly. At first I thought I was covering the lens with my hand or something but I am not. I'm including a picture I took as reference. I've already tried clearing camera data/cache, rebooting, etc. Any ideas?

It's weird that the black seems to have a shadow that blends into the picture. Makes it seem like there is something blocking the lens, maybe internally? You should try isolating the problem, maybe seeing if its more common in landscape or portrait mode

That's what I wondered too but everything looked fine in the image preview screen, it was only once the picture was taken that the black showed up. Anyway its working okay today so far, not sure what happened.

it happens on my droid all the time...it happens when the battery power is low and the flash is on...if you plug it into a power source and take the picture it does fine or let it just charge then take the picture...not sure why but seems like low battery=a slow camera/flash sync issue
